Jeweler's Daughter (CD)
Pittsburgh's Carousel, while not a band making songs about drinking per se, is perfect fodder for what ails you. Their steady grasp of late '70s / early '80s heavy metal is as tight as anyone else trying this same thing, and maybe it's just me who feels this way, but it's the perfect match for when I want to pop open some cold bottles with very high ABVs and see where the night takes me. It certainly doesn't hurt if you like the classic NWOBHM bands such as Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, as well as the Scorpions and Thin Lizzy, because these guys take those influences, roll them into one propulsive cauldron and rock out all over the place. It's a good time.
Pittsburgh is a town that bleeds classic rock, but not necessarily in a good way. The local stations play the same goddamned songs over and over again a million times until you want to punch someone next time to year 'Gimme Back My Bullets' or some Steve Miller shit, and the local bands they serve up pretty much are intolerable.
